Yes, I said I wouldn't do it, but Cat Sparks' ignorance, some of your urgings, and my own ego have ganged up together. My goal was to write an I-free blog, but that was before my ego wrote it. It's True Confessions, minus the word-count-per-day. http://medlarcomfits.blogspot.com/

Just bantering you around, Ben, mostly because I don't see you has being Darthy at all. Seriously now, you're passionate and articulate, which is what I wish more people were. And crutching is "removing wool from the inside of a sheep's back legs and belly" so you won't get "fly-strike". I'm sure nobody likes to have it done, but it's far better than being fly-struck, and if you don't know what fly-struck is, you're lucky.

...you know, anna, there are times i'm real happy to be the city boy i am.

and yeah, i knew it was banter. is cool. many people do see me as darthy, though. surprisingly, for a bad guy, people sure feel secure enough to tell it to my face, which has always struck me as a bit of a contradiction ;)

Hey, Darth Vader IS articulate!

And c'mon, wouldn't you just love to see Ben bounding around a paddock, a tight blue ring around his tail, just waiting for it to fall off. Dock more city boys I say!

The heavy on medieval farts, and other entries in the past few days. Apologies to anyone looking in during the week plus that I was not posting, but there's a fair amount of new stuff on now. http://medlarcomfits.blogspot.com/
